I’ve recently been on a mission to re-organize and clean out our freezers. I know we have things that have been in the arctic depths too long. The other day on a clean out I found some sweet bread (coffee cake remnants?) that I had frozen in chunks. I tasted it. Hmmm. It was okay. [...]

Even though I miss summer tomatoes come fall, at least I have apples with tangy, juicy crunch. A few weeks ago I tossed together a fall salad with simplicity of preparation that belies its sophisticated blend of flavor and texture. For every two servings you’ll need: 1 well-washed apple 1-2 stalks of fresh celery 1 [...]

Recently I posted a savory tomato tart recipe, with the possibility of leftover pastry dough if you made an 8-inch tart. I promised that I’d give you another use for that pastry dough, and here it is: whole-grain apple turnovers. I must admit that I grew up with whole pies, not turnovers nor my husband’s [...]
Excalibur! my new dehydrator is here.

A few years ago I tried my hand at dehydrating, but I went with a relatively low-end dehydrator. I quickly learned my mistake. My tomatoes developed mold before they finished drying, and the dehydrator died while we were drying apples. We finished the apples, complete with autumn spices, in the clothes dryer on the sweater [...]

Regular readers know that I suffered catastrophic garden losses thanks to a house/cat/garden sitter who did a great job with two out of three. I’m pleased to report, though, that courtesy of the pre-soaking (and sometimes pre-sprouting) technique, I’ve got butter peas, summer squash of several varieties, cucumbers (Armenian and a pickling cucumber), and okra [...]

I can’t get enough of summer fruit. Every day I gorge on melons and berries, knowing that their days in my farmers’ market and garden are limited. It’s peaches, though, that not only make me know it’s summer but that also take me back to my roots. There simply is nothing in the world like [...]

We’re still polishing off the wonderful pasture-raised turkey that I got from Falling Sky Farm for Thanksgiving. You may remember that we ate a lot of turkey eat fresh then, but I also broke it down enough immediately to freeze some in various serving sizes. Today I’m going to use about four ounces of the turkey along [...]
Baked Apples with ginger, cinnamon, and honey-mustard

Tonight I had planned on making pizza, but life intervened and I ended up with less prep time than I’d planned. Given that I had good chicken bratwurst, red and green cabbage, onions, and some wide whole-wheat Amish noodles, I decided to go with a German-inspired meal. I was going to serve it with traditional [...]

I like to mix up muffins regularly because they give us healthy, wholesome breakfasts and healthy snacks for little money. Making muffins from scratch only takes a few more minutes than making [...]
